Three ledgers in one packet.

Other people
Cleaner, co-host, and handyman hours sit beside yours, not inside them.

Guest stays
Check-in and check-out feed the average stay. A calendar does not invent a work row.
The path
How a row becomes a packet.

The limit
What this log will not do.
If a sentence promises a tax outcome, it does not belong here.
118.5h
No qualification
The log does not say you met an hour test.

No REPS math
That comparison is CPA work, not a screen on this log.

This is the log and the packet.
Questions
Is this tax advice?
No. StayPacket stores timestamps, stay records, and hours you or invited workers enter. Whether hours count, and what that means for a return, is between you and a qualified U.S. tax professional.
Can I see what the CPA gets?
Yes. Open the sample CPA packet — fictional 2026 data in the same layout as a live share link, printable to PDF from the browser.
Can I log in today?
Yes. Use Keep the log. We email you a link. No password. The public site stays the explanation; the ledger is the app.
Who is it for?
U.S. hosts with short-term rentals who already work with a CPA on material-participation documentation. It is not built for long-term landlords or for anyone looking for a button that “unlocks” a deduction.
